Make the transition a smooth and successful one with these tips on how to decompress a new rescue dog.

7. Slow intros
8. Keep a routine
9. Established positive reinforcement

Decompression is a key step toward ensuring a successful home transition for your new pet. Time spent getting to know your rescue pup will be well worth the love they give you in return.
Your new pet should not be introduced to the current animals in the house without direct supervision. Don’t rush. It can take several days let you new dog get relaxed.
When introductions occur, dogs should be on a leash, and if introducing to cats, the dog should be on a leash.
We recommend all dogs on leash for several weeks in home.
Animals always need to be fed seperately, new pet preferably in crate, in different rooms.
This process can take time, there is not a set period! It can be days, weeks or perhaps even months. Don't rush your new pet, successful transition takes patience! Be committed to, be in it for the dogs.
Rescue is a commitment. Do it for the dogs♥️
Fosters and adopters are always the number 1 need in rescues.
